Big show down tuesday evening at Stamford Bridge: Chelsea vs Inter, return game of the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

It's the return of José Mourinho to the place where he has had his biggest success, but the coach of the nerazzurri won't have any time to waste with nostalgia: his team has to defend the 2-1 home victory of San Siro, quite a small advantage for Inter, but at least they still have all the chances to stay in the competition. One thing is sure - they will have to do a lot better than in the Serie A: Inter have lost their last game (1-3 in Catania), which has allowed Milan to get as close as 1 point to them. Of course at Stamford Bridge Eto'o, Milito & co will play a different game, the motivation level will surely be much higher than in the last Serie A games.
And it will be necessary against Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea team, who has won by 4-1 the derby against West Ham (coached by Gianfranco Zola), with two goals by Didier Drogba. Now the Blues are on top of the table, with one point ahead of Manchester United.

If Inter wants to stay the last italian team in the Champions League, the nerazzurri will have to play an excellent game and they might also need a bit of luck. A 0-0 draw would be sufficient, but it would be a big mistake to only try to defend the result from the first game, as the Blues need only one tiny goal to eliminate the italian champions. Negative detail for Inter: the referee will be Wolfgang Stark from Germany, who is well known to Inter from their previous eliminations at Manchester in 2009 and Valencia in 2007, as well as from the terrible 1-5 defeat against Arsenal...
